The long GRB 090929B (Swift-BAT trigger #371050; Pagani et al., GCN 9963, 
 Krimm et al. GCN 9979) was detected by the Suzaku Wide-band All-sky 
Monitor (WAM) which covers an energy range of 50 keV - 5 MeV at 
10:09:23.633 UT (=T0).

The observed light curve shows a multi-peaked structure, starting at
T0-2 s and ending at T0+20 s, with a total duration (T90) of about 18 s.
The fluence in 100 - 1000 keV was (3.92 $B!^(B 0.63) x 10-6 erg/cm2.
The 1-s peak flux measured from T0+1 s was 1.42 (-0.25. +0.24)
photons/cm2/s in the same energy range.

Preliminary result shows that the time-averaged spectrum from
T0-2 s to T0+20 s is well fitted by a single power-law with 
 a photon index of 1.96 (-0.17, +0.20) (chi2/d.o.f = 23.4/27).
 
All the quoted errors are at statistical 90% confidence level,
in which the systematic uncertainties are not included.
